PS: The last three days double the monthly pass time, everyone has a ticket to support it.

Speaking of Wu Zhou, ordinary people may not have this concept, but when it comes to Wu Zetian, it is estimated that many people should be familiar with it. Everyone knows that Wu Zetian is the only female emperor of China. However, ordinary people may subconsciously ignore that she established a dynasty with the name of Zhou.

According to historical records, in 690 A.D., Wu Zetian deposed Tang Ruizong Li Dan as emperor, attacked the Zhou Dynasty country name, changed the country name to Zhou, set the capital Shendu (Luoyang), changed the Yuan Tianzhu, and was known as Wu Zhou in history.

However, she was the biological mother of two Tang Dynasty emperors, and she was forced to restore the Tang Dynasty before her death, so the Wu Zhou Dynasty is generally not regarded as a separate dynasty in history, and the Wu Zhou Dynasty is conventionally counted in the Tang Dynasty, and the Wu Zhou era is counted in the number of years of Tang Dynasty rule. That's it, most people know that Wu Zetian is a female emperor, but there should not be many people who know that she is the female emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

"Regarding Wu Zetian, it is very controversial. From a modern point of view, she has undoubtedly done a lot of good things. Under her rule, she also eased the contradictions in the social stage and promoted social and economic development, which is a credit. ”

At this time, Professor Wen sighed lightly: "Be good at admonishing, rectifying the rule of officials, knowing people and being good at their duties, and reforming the imperial examination." These are all the actions of the Ming monarchs in the feudal dynasty, and they are very good at discovering talents. Needless to say, the famous Di Renjie, like several famous ministers in the early days of Tang Xuanzong's reign, were all talents selected by Wu Zetian. ”

"But it's a pity, no matter what Wu Zetian's exploits are, for those who were loyal to the Li Tang royal family at that time, she was a thief who brought disaster to the country and the people. Therefore, during the period when Wu Zetian was in power, there was almost no peace in politics, and many political struggles took place. ”

While speaking, Professor Wen shook his head and said, "And in order to maintain his rule, while Wu Zetian is promoting virtuous ministers, he must also need some cool officials to reflect her iron-blooded ruthlessness." Truth be told, this is the usual tactic of a wise monarch. After all, there must be different forces in the court to realistically check and balance. The so-called Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, that is a situation that is simply impossible to realistic......"

"Yes, during the period of Song Renzong and Song Shenzong, didn't there be a situation of Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty?"

At the same time, Yu Feibai smiled sarcastically: "In the two periods, all the courtiers in the court were famous ministers and upright gentlemen. But it seems that such an upright minister crippled the Northern Song Dynasty alive. ”

"Don't digress, listen to Professor Wen."

Wang Guan advised, and said with a smile: "You have said it yourself." History is the pen plaything of the literati, what is an upright and virtuous minister, and what is a cool official who cruelly harms the people, in fact, it is just measured by their standards. Let's just see, we can believe it, but we can't believe it all. ”

"That's right, it's like the person who built the dungeon."

At the right time, Hou Lao smiled and said, "If it is said that it is a stronghold secretly built to fight against Wu Zetian's rule, I will not doubt it. After all, the situation was so dangerous. Wu Zetian continued to support his cronies, and then actively attacked the Li Tang royal family. Especially after she became emperor, the voices against her have developed to the extreme, and they are no longer just verbal judgments. It even developed to the point of overthrowing her rule by force......"

"Under such circumstances, the struggle has entered a white-hot stage, and there will definitely be a bloody storm."

Professor Wen looked at the underground palace and sighed very much: "It is quite a year. In this place, there may be a well-trained armoured army, or a secret assassination unit. Like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, quietly baring its fangs, wanting to wait for Wu Zetian and her comrades to have a flaw, and then launch a strike. ”

For a moment, everyone quieted down, and they felt a little touched. Conspiracy, revolt, repression, bloodshed...... In ancient times, political struggles were so cruel that they could never be explained with a simple stroke in the history books.

Speaking of which, there are detailed records about this kind of dark matter in the historical records of Sima Qian in the Han Dynasty. The biographies of the assassins are still legends that people talk about.

However, one generation is not as good as the next, and there are few records of assassins in the history books after the Han Dynasty. Even if there were, it was just a few words, and he didn't want to write more at all, let alone explain the origin of the assassin. Later, he simply didn't mention any assassins, and just died a perfunctory death.

The root cause is mainly that they feel that this kind of thing can't be put on the table, or people who often use this method are weak in their hearts and must hate others to mention it more.

Anyway, no matter ancient or modern, as long as there is light, darkness will inevitably breed. It's two sides of the story, and it's impossible to avoid it. That's why everyone agrees with Wang Guan's speculation and thinks that this underground palace is related to the forces that rebelled against Wu Zetian.

"Of course, it's just a speculation."

At this time, Wang Guan said with a smile: "There is no direct evidence, speculation is just speculation after all, and it cannot be taken seriously." ”

"yes, it's just speculation, after all, a mural doesn't mean anything."

Yu Feibai shook his head and said: "There is not enough evidence, all conjectures are just empty pavilions, which can be used as references, or they can be directly ignored." ”

"But I think it's a convincing conjecture."

Yu Feibai sighed: "Maybe after the dungeon was repaired, it used to be full of swords and armor, but after the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate, and there is naturally no need for this dungeon to exist." Not only is it abandoned, or the collapse of the mountain behind it is not a natural disaster, but a man-made mudslide. ”

The Shenlong coup d'état refers to Wu Zetian's emptiness in his later years, and he gradually became mediocre and absurd, and he was very fond of Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong. Relying on Wu Zetian's grace, these two people are autocratic, and all the officials in the court are afraid of them, and even Wu Zetian's sons and nephews are vying to please the Zhang brothers, even to the point of servility.

At that time, Zhongzong Li Xian was deposed, and his children privately discussed the dictatorship of Erzhang, but it was leaked out. The Zhang brothers took the opportunity to be greedy in Wu Zetian's ears, and directly forced Li Xian to kill their children. It can also be seen from this that in the face of authority, any children's family affection and blood relationship are very unreliable. It's like a layer of window paper, which breaks when you poke it.

At the same time, it was this incident that put everyone in the Li clan in danger, and finally united to launch a coup d'état. In the first month of the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian was sick, and the Zhang brothers served left and right, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Realizing that this was an opportunity, Li Xian and others decisively launched a long-planned mutiny. Combined with the ministers of the imperial court, as well as the palace guards, they directly led their troops to the palace, and killed the Zhang brothers in one fell swoop with lightning speed, and then forced Wu Zetian to abdicate.

There is not much ink on the history books about this coup d'état, and it is not as detailed as the Xuanwumen Incident. However, like the Xuanwumen Change, the Shenlong Coup also had a high-sounding reason, that is, under the pretext that the Zhang brothers wanted to rebel, and then the ministers of the court took the initiative to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and then welcomed the crown prince Li Xian to supervise the country and re-establish him to restore the throne.

The whole process is brushed by the Spring and Autumn Period. Even the biographies of the ministers who participated in this thrilling event only mention their merits in killing the Zhang brothers, participating in the planning to kill traitorous ministers, or simply saying that they have the merit of punishing thieves and supporting them, but as for the specific process, they do not mention a word.

But it should be clear to everyone that the court struggle in the Tang Dynasty set a bad example from the beginning of Taizong Li Shimin. Li Shimin's sons don't say much, in order to compete for the throne, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wei Li Tai, the king of Shu Li Ke, etc., a group of princes competed very fiercely, but in the end they lost both, cheapening Gaozong Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi's personality is relatively soft and glutinous, which is why Wu Zetian is on top. In addition, Wu Zetian's methods are also very similar to Li Shimin, for those who do not offend her, she is a wise monarch, but for those who resist her, she is ruthless, and she is used to killing a hundred people. So as her children, Li Xian, Li Dan, Princess Taiping and other clan relatives must also be exposed to it, and those who are close to ink are black.

After the Shenlong coup, Li Xian re-ascended the throne and was reinstated, but only three years later, he died.

Regarding Li Xian's death, some people say that he was poisoned, and some people say that he died of natural causes. Anyway, not long after his death, Li Longji, the son of Ruizong Li Dan, united with Princess Taiping, launched another coup d'état, and experienced a series of dazzling power struggles, and finally Li Longji had the last laugh and became the famous Tang Xuanzong.

Struggles and coups d'état must be very intricate and cloudy. What is the truth in it, it must have been buried in the long river of history. No matter how much future generations study, they can only touch the general outline, and it is impossible to really sort out a clear vein.

However, you can also imagine that the ancient court struggles, coups, and mutinies all began with blood and ended in blood. Either you die or I die, there is no warmth or blood and family affection to speak of.

Looking at the empty dungeon, everyone also fell into their own thoughts, and vaguely seemed to see scenes of swords and swords, intrigues, and plans hidden in the dim environment......

"Alright, don't guess."

After a moment of silence, Wang Guan felt that conspiracy theories could not continue, which was not conducive to social harmony and even more gloomy everyone's psychology. Be a positive person and be full of positive energy all the time.

Thinking of this, Wang Guan smiled and said: "This is the situation in the underground palace, let's go out after visiting." After all, after staying for a long time, I also feel a little depressed. ”

"Gone, gone."

Yu Feibai also agreed: "I thought I could appreciate the beautiful treasures, who knew that the underground palace of Nuoda was not even as good as a big tomb, and people finally unearthed such treasures as Mingguang armor and blue-glazed Tang Sancai horses......"

"What Mingguang Armor?"

Professor Wen's hearing was not bad, and he noticed Yu Feibai's muttering, and hurriedly asked.

"It's the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty."

Yu Feibai explained: "Didn't we just say that we met another group of tomb robbers, and they dug up a lot of things in that big tomb......

Professor Wen listened carefully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and at the end he immediately said worriedly: "How can such a precious cultural relic be placed in the police station casually." No, I have to take care of ......" (to be continued......
